In my book, I dreamed about a 24 hour cable TV show dedicated to photography.

Then, when fantastic resources like Photography Mentor and The B School came along, I was convinced my vision was happening sooner than I thought. On the heals of individual efforts like the Simple Photo Minute in the early days of video podcasting (as well as the more updated and upcoming AskDane.com), these pioneers have begun to create mass amounts of content to really drive where we’re headed.

Now it’s looking like another significant player has arrived with the announcement of The Photography Network.

Led by industry icons, Denis Reggie, Bambi Cantrell and Joe Buissink, this is sure to make a dramatic addition to the learning landscape. I was excited, humbled and a little surprised to be included in their promotional video (click The Concept in the lower left when you go to the site) but am really glad to be seen as someone playing a part in the leading of our incredible industry. And as Seth Godin says, lead we must!

These are extraordinary times to be a photographer and gaining access to the best and brightest will really help to raise the stakes for all of us.

Super stoked!

When Robert Evans - world renown celebrity photographer to Tom and Katie, Brad and Jennifer and umpteen other A-Listers - said he wanted to shoot second for me at Lindye and Winn’s wedding I was blown away.

It’s one thing to shoot along side greats like him, but for Rob to intentionally choose to be in second position was incredible to me. And, the best part was he didn’t do it for my sake. He did it for yours!

Robert is in the process of creating a DVD made specifically for the second shooter and, like all the greats, he wanted to lead by example. Not only was the day a blast, but we got some amazing footage for the DVD that’s due out shortly at PhotographyMentor.com.

Knowing what I know about what is there now and what’s coming, I’d absolutely encourage you to check it out. In the mean time, the video below will give you a sneak peek.

Keep it humble.
